Betty Casciati wrote on 29.10.2001: ?Jen and family have many squatters and can no longer farm. My son-in-law is also having a very bad time; thank goodness they have moved to town. Tony and Ade have 'them' [the blacks who invaded farms demanding to take them over from the owners, mostly ex-terrorists] almost in their front garden. It is all extremely stressful & how the farmers have managed to keep their cool is a real miracle.?
